The incoming Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Soludo, over the weekend led stakeholders of the Old Aguata Union (OAU) to the Aguleri country home of outgoing Governor Willie Obiano to thank him for facilitating his election in November 2021.

Presenting a gift of appreciation to the governor and his wife, the delegation hailed him for remaining resolute in his choice of Soludo as his successor.

Speaking at occasion, Soludo said: “Today, I joined critical stakeholders and leaders of the Old Aguata Union (OAU), a geo-political bloc of Ndị Anambra comprising the current Orumba North, Orumba South and Aguata local government areas, on a ‘Thank You’ visit to the Governor of Anambra State, His Excellency, Dr. Willie Maduaburocbukwu Obiano.

“While thanking God for his boundless grace before, during and after the process that has brought about my emergence as the Governor-elect, I must not forget to thank the human elements instrumental to the actualisation of this mandate. Dr Willie Maduaburochukwu Obiano showed character, forthrightness and courage deserving of mention and emulation.

“I consider this a rare privilege to serve Ndị Anambra. And the greatest appreciation would be to provide quality service and purposeful leadership that would elevate the developmental trajectory of our dear State for the good of all.”

The delegation which was made up of clergymen and statesmen, among others, also showered praises on the governor.
